French Streamers Face Jail Over Online Abuse | Europe News

Two French livestreamers face suspended prison sentences after being convicted of online violence and inciting hatred against a man during their broadcasts — a case that exposed the dark underbelly of internet streaming. The victim, subjected to abuse and humiliation on his own stream, died from health-related causes, sparing the streamers manslaughter charges. Safine Hamadi received an 18-month suspended sentence and a €5,000 fine, while Owen Cenazandotti got two years suspended and a €15,000 fine — both also banned from social media for six months. Though they claimed the abuse was staged with the victim’s consent, the court’s ruling underscores the growing need for accountability and better moderation in digital spaces.
